Three residents of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), including two brothers, have been apprehended by Army personnel after they intruded into the Indian side in Poonch district, officials said.

They were accompanied by a fourth person who managed to escape. Earlier, officials had said four people were apprehended. They said Army troops picked up the movement of four boys who crossed the Line of Control (LoC) in the Chaka Da Bagh area of Krishna Ghati sector. Three of them, Danyal Malik (17), Arbaz Rahim (13) and his brother Umar Rahim (9), were taken into custody, while the fourth intruder managed to flee, the officials said.

The detained trio are from Lassi Mang and Troti villages of Chattra and had apparently crossed the LoC inadvertently, the officials said, adding a probe is on. — PTI
